Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup boiling water

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
  3. Add the eggs, whole milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry mixture, and mix until well incorporated and smooth.
  4. Carefully stir in the boiling water to the batter; it will be thinner than typical cake batter.
  5. Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared cake pans.
  6. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centers comes out clean.
  7. Once baked, let the cakes cool in their pans for about 10 minutes, then gently remove them and place them on a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Store any leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
